Matsuri Slot Review

How to play

The Matsuri slot is set on five reels and three rows, with 25 fixed paylines. The latter means that the paylines cannot be adjusted, and the slot's gameplay is very similar to other releases, requiring you to form a winning combination with three or more matching symbols across the reels. The wins must be created from left to right, starting from the first reel and adjacent reels.

You have to select your total bet before spinning the reels, which is the line bet multiplied by the number of paylines. The total betting range is between €0.25 and €100, allowing both high rollers and low-budget players to give the game a try. Once you have picked your bet, you can spin the reels and wait for your rewards. The symbols pay are multiplied by the bet per line and not the total bet.

Symbols and payouts

The symbols on the Matsuri slot's reels are mostly items and trinkets that you can find if you ever visit the festival celebration in Japan. There's a lot you will see on the reels, from different types of foods to masks and fans.

The game features special symbols like the wild that will give you 1,000x, 100x, and 25x your bet per line for landing five, four, and three symbols from left to right on any of the paylines. The festival mask is the scatter, and the goldfish symbols trigger the bonus game.

The highest paying symbols are three Japanese girls. The first girl holding a rose will reward 350x, 75x, and 15x your bet per line for landing five, four, and three symbols across the reels. Then the second girl with a mask offers 300x, 60x, and 12x your line bet. The third girl is holding a fan and will give you 250x, 50x, and 10x your bet per payline.

The lower paying symbols include a flower with a reward of 100x, 20x, and 7x your line bet for hitting five, four, and three symbols. Then, the fan, food, flavored ice, and snack will give you 75x, 75x, 50x, and 50x your line bet, respectively.

Best Matsuri bonus features

If you’re looking for more ways to increase your wins as you play this slot, you will have a lot of fun with the Matsuri bonus features. They also add more fun to the simple gameplay. As mentioned before, there is a wild symbol with 1,000x your bet per line for landing five on the reels. It also increases your chances of winning by standing in for other symbols to form a winning combination.

The wild is a lantern symbol, and it will also unlock the Matsuri festival bonus round, only when it appears during the free spins feature. It will grow into an expanded wild symbol and fill the entire reel. Then, it will move one step to the left with each spin until the feature is over.

The Matsuri free spins round is triggered by landing three or more festival mask symbols on any of the paylines. It will give you eight free spins. You also get an extra two free spins every time the scatter appears on the reels until you have won a total of 20 spins. You can win up to 3000x your bet.

Finally, the goldfish scooping (Kingyo Sukui) bonus game is activated by landing three goldfish symbols. You will try to catch the goldfish in the water with your paper spoon and receive cash prizes up to 500x your bet if you succeed.

RTP & volatility

The Matsuri RTP is not precisely known, but it is above 96%, which is advantageous to players either way. It is a high volatility slot, so look out for massive wins. But, you need to be patient as they won't come in often.
